Proposed good articles

This star represents the proposed good content on Wikipedia.
This star represents the proposed good content on Wikipedia.

"Good articles" are articles that are better than other articles, according to many people. Good articles have criteria/requirements that the article needs to have. Read Wikipedia:Requirements for good articles for information about the criteria.

This page is to talk about articles to see if they meet Good Article criteria. When an article is posted here, it should have the {{pgood}} tag put on it. This will put the article in Category:Proposed good articles. Please only put one article in at a time.

Articles that are accepted by the community as good articles will have their {{pgood}} tag replaced with {{good}}. They are also shown on Wikipedia:Good articles and are put in Category:Good articles. Articles that are not accepted by the community as good articles have their {{good}} tag removed.

Articles that are better than the good article criteria can be proposed to be a "very good article" at Wikipedia:Proposed very good articles.

This tool can be used to find the size of an article.

The article has been expanded, is properly sourced, simplified as much as I could find [feedback always welcome :)], proper cats, no redlinks and thoroughly covers the subject. Please let me know if there's any way I can improve the article! There's often some tricky words that cannot/might require more attention to simplify when it comes to politicians, but I think I tackled most of it down. Thank you for your consideration! :) --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 02:15, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've transferred the subject's English Wikipedia article (which is currently nominated for GA status and which I am a major contributor to) here after making significant cuts and changes to the language. This is my first time writing an article for simple english Wikipedia, but I put a lot of work into it, so I hope it's worthy of GA status. The article has many sources, and it's just over half as long as the original version. If there's anything you need me to fix, please tell me, and I will fix it as soon as possible!

I believe it fits the criteria of a good article now, I have done everything suggested by Barras and CountryANDWestern in a PGA review, except for the sentence "A whiskey maker lost some of its...", which i'm not sure how to fix. If you think it's still not ready, please tell me what problems remain. Bakhos Let's talk! 09:56, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think even the whiskey-sentence is actually good to go. No objections from my side. I'd say promote to good article. -Barras talk 10:13, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see that it fits the criteria of a good article. noob_from2 (talk) 14:37, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not ready: just at a quick glance I see only two sources, many sections without sources, and a lot of redlinks. These need to be addressed CountryANDWestern (talk) 15:27, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with CountryAndWestern. It's also kind of closer to a stub tag than a ga tag. -Barras talk 16:13, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The Launches, Types sections need a bit expansion. There are quite a few red links. At least 3 cats.--Cactus🌵 spiky 06:47, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
